A wind farm group on the South Coast says the opinions of British climate change sceptic Christopher Monckton, should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Lord Monckton yesterday described wind farm technology as useless, polluting and expensive after speaking at the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies conference in Perth.

He also made headlines last week for calling the government's climate change adviser, Ross Garnaut, a fascist, for which he later apologised.

The Chairman of the Denmark Community Wind Farm Craig Chapelle says his comments are ridiculous.

"The evidence would clearly point to him being wrong, because there are thousands and thousands of wind turbines in action and have been for some years throughout the rest of the world," he said.

"And turbine manufacturers can't keep up with the orders for turbines, so I think that's fairly clear evidence that they do work."

But Lord Monckton told reporters after his AMEC speech yesterday, that wind farms are a waster of time and money.

"Windmills are highly problematic - they have nothing whatever to give in terms of changing the world's weather or climate and they are very expensive," he said.

"They entail an enormous welfare loss both in environmental terms. Large game birds in particular are being driven almost to the point of extinction in California, in Scotland and Spain.

"Spain has just closed down it's largest wind farm at the instigation of one man who went every day and took pictures of the dead birds at the foot of the windmills and emailed them around the world and eventually the Spanish Government in utter humiliation had to climb down and shut the wind farm.

"In the end, because of the concrete bases you have to build; the burning of the lime to make the concrete, emits more carbon dioxide per wind mill than that wind mill is likely to save in its lifetime.

"Particularly if you take into account the spending reserve that must be maintained at the generating stations - the fossil fuel stations - to cover for the times when the wind doesn't blow.

"Because I can assure you that windmills don't deliver power then."
